To a temporary place in time………….perhaps can also be termed
The “Library Uncertainty Principle.”
Predicting the future library based on what the technology is today and perhaps what is quickly coming down the pike (Library 3.0 & 4.0) is fun and exciting. The direction of the future library is being driven by the information momentum of change and people.
It’s a big universe out there – and who knows what time will bring.
What hasn’t been mentioned is fragmentation – everyone does not welcome change. And what about cultural differences ? The point is perhaps to just enjoy the journey and the experience.

But What about the REAL things you can feel and touch ?
The “just in case” collection brings to mind the diehard book lover, sitting in a chair in front of the fireplace with a blanket and a steaming cup of hot chocolate , and holding and turning the pages and immensely enjoying a hardback book. Maybe there will still be places like this to go to – a library museum perhaps; or a old bookstore. The past should also have a place – let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.
The People’s Choice Awards
The ovens were predicted to become obsolete with the introduction of microwave cooking. Ovens are still around – and both are used according to the cook’s tastes and preferences.
